    What are your retro bike plans for 2024.

    I've built four 26ers over the last few years. I've only ridden 26ers since my parents bought me a Raleigh Ozark in 1988. I keep getting tempted to buy new gravel bike, saw a lovely one in a Ribble shop in Bristol today, but I do like to sit in my shed tinkering with retro mountain bikes...

    No rhyme no reason just 1 Retrobike pic per post.

    Budget Saracen Rufftrax frame stripped down and converted into a 26er gravel bike.

    '88 Raleigh Ozark - gumtree Southampton

    No, I took it to a powder coating specialist. I nitromorsed and sprayed a frame once before and I didn't enjoy it and the finish wasn't quite as professional as I would've liked.

    '88 Raleigh Ozark - gumtree Southampton

    Ooh, I had one of these when I was 13. Was looking for one for ages but couldn't find one, found a Raleigh Discovery instead which I am currently doing up.
